I'm still wowed, what are your other 5 meals like? Do you watch carbs/cals/sugars/fats or are you just all out bulking?

Well honestly I sometimes only use 1 shake a day (PWO) but if for some reason im not hungry (rarely) or i dont have time ill have a pro+carb+fruit shake Pre workout.BiggerthanLavar said:I'm still wowed, what are your other 5 meals like?

Why would I fart a lot? I dont fart anymore than people who eat whatever they wantAnd do you ever stop farting?
hmm...never knew thattatu said:There's a fairly well-known correlation between high protein ingestion and flatulence.

The rest of my meals before 6pm are pro+carb meals, very little fat. Mainly egg whites and 1 egg yolk for breaskfast, then red meat the rest of the time. Carbs come mostly from oatmeal, but I also like whole wheat bread and bagels, a well as brown rice and I usually have a sweet potato as my last carb source of the day.
After 6pm its all pro+fat meals...again, usually red meat. The only carbs I get from now until bedtime are veggies. I use fish oil, flax oil, olilve oil, or natural peanut butter or almond butter for fat. And I have an egg yolk before bed as well.
If im out of steak or hamburger, or if I want a change ill have chicken, and every once in a while, even though I hate fish with a passion, ill crave 2 cans of tuna.
It sounds like a lot of food and that id have to force it down, but somehow after eating so much for so long, as soon as im done with my meal im counting the minutes until the next time i get to eat again.

Me said:Does anyone have any scientific studies done on how much protein a bodybuilder should ingest?
I've heard that in order to bulk, take 1 gram of protein per lb BW, others say 2 grams. Apparently, this study suggests that the average sedentary American should ingest 61 grams if one was to weigh 170. I can't imagine that what bodybuilders ingest nowadays is actually beneficial. At 61 grams for the average person, I'd assume to double or triple that for an avid lifter.
But like I said earlier, guys here are taking 6 or more times the recommended value. Am I the only one who is willing to challenge this common practice?
The rules also state that you shouldn't take in that much fat, so it's more like 80g fat and 570g of carbs. A shitty diet that will make you fat if you ask me.DougoeFre5h said:Heres the thing everyone is forgetting.... CALORIES COME FROM EITHER FAT, CARBS, OR PROTEIN. SO what the fuck does eating .36g/lb bodyweight leave me eating to maintain bodyweight...? Well lets see Thats 300 calories due to protein I need 166g fat and 375g carbs to maintain my weight. Horeshit.
